I am a native New Yorker with a passion for technology, eager to solve challenging problems. I enjoy creating projects that tackle current needs and automating away redundant processes.
My love of traveling has allowed me to meet people from diverse backgrounds and gain insights about the world outside the United States. I enjoy learning languages, and became proficient in Mandarin during my three-years living in China.
View ResumeProblem: My spouse and I wanted a way to automate saving our son’s daycare photos including the ones with other students, which they don't let you download instead of downloading each image manually every day.
Solution: Configured a web-hook using the Gmail API to send any email from the daycare email address to my web app server. Parsed the email’s HTML to download the image and upload that image to S3 and store that URL in the Postgres DB, so the frontend web app can access all the photos. I also made a curl request to the image URL to check if there is a download attribute in the HTML, so that I can label the photo as private (I don't want to post pictures to a site with other kids in it or without other parents permission.) Every image is also sent to our family members’ electronic picture frames to get daily updates of our son.

Problem: My wife and I wanted a way to send custom HTML emails to our baby shower guests and track what invitees are attending and render different responses based on their selection.

The link also redirects the user to a frontend where they are displayed a message customized based on their choice.

Would You Rather is a react redux application that allows users to create, answer, and vote on questions that were created by the applications users. A user has to be logged in to use the application, and a mock auth system was created to do this.
A user can then create a question that will ask if they would rather do one of two options. After this they may vote on their own questions or questions created by other users which will then move that question into their answer category. Once answered they will receive a point and if they click on the question it will show the percentage of votes each answer received by the global user community. Users can also view where they stand on the leaderboard pointwise as users receive points for each question created and each question answered.
